A Fate lacking in inhibitions and the wizard who holds her powers in his grasp collide in the latest book in Bestselling Author Charity Parkerson’s “Sexy Witches” series. Out of the three Fates, Rowena is the wildest. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Now, she is in the biggest fix of all time. She’s lost one of Heaven’s Seers to the Devil, and she needs Randall’s help in order to find her. Once upon a time, Rowena pulled Randall Cruz into a supernatural fight in order to regain her powers. In retaliation, Randall cast a spell that gave him the control she seeks. With the exception of a few angels, a zombie, and an outrageous pixie, Randall enjoyed his quiet life as owner of the local apothecary before Rowena pushed her way in. Since the day they met, he’s been forced to battle a pirate, give up wearing glasses, and now deal with the Devil. Every day, he braces for what will come next. An undeniable attraction, a struggle for dominance, and a love to last through the ages comes to life in The Wizard & The Wanton.

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Oh how love this authors writing. Especially this series, it's so funny, sweet and sexy. Every time you think that you know what is going to happen, a surprise pops up.
Well prepare to meet the devil and then mix it up with Tam, Lena and Rowena, a pinch of Randal, a touch of blue eyed angel and a damsel in distress. The perfect mix for a good read.
My favorite quote from the book is:
"If you're not here to poke me in the ass with your pitchfork, then why are you here?"
In the final installment of the “Sexy Witches” series, things take a very dark turn as we’re introduced to the devil and we finally get to see Randall and Rowena together. Rowena always pulls Randall into her problems and this time it’s a doozy when she loses one of Heaven’s seers (Harper) to the devil. Randall has a huge secret of his own involving the dark one, and so he’s the last person Randall wants to tangle with. As usual when Rowena is involved, Randall is helpless against her and ends up joining in the adventure, but does Harper want their help? This was a great end to another Parkerson series.
"The Wizard and The Wanton (Sexy Witches 4)" by Charity Parkerson concludes the series with a turn to darker tones with the widening of the paranormal themes, i.e. Death. but also with several plot surprises and secrets that complicate the already complicated central relationship between Rowena, a seer, and Randall, an apothecary. As always this is well plotted and has excellent characterisation, has humour and is highly original and entertaining.
Why did I wait so long to discover this series by Charity Parkerson? Oh I knew her M/M romances were off the hook smexxy, but sexy witches? Dang! Why should you read this? Oh let me tell you! The setting is in New Orleans!! Not enough? Ok, how about verra sexy witches (duh!), fallen angels, Death, the Big Bad King of Hell, and a pet zombie that turns out to be a verra sexy…What? You think I’m gonna spoil it? READ the book!
I did not want this series to end! Five plus stars! LOVED it! Highly recommend!
THE WIZARD & THE WANTON 5🌟 Kept me wanting more with each page flip. Not gonna lie was a little confused if some of these sexy scenes were Rowena’s imagining or Harper and re read a couple spots cuz I wasn’t sure, hard not to be distracted though as they were some pretty 🔥🔥firey scenes :)
It has been a delight seeing this series progress from book to book. We finally pick up in this book with Randall and Rowena, from the earlier short story. And we get a bonus romance of Harper and Death. I love the two for one deal.
This book has a great little story, wish it were longer. I loved the mixed narrative, fantastic knowing where everybody is coming from. All the transition are very smooth.
Hot, hot, hot!! Oh yeah, the smexy scenes have really kicked up! I am talking seriously steamy and plenty of detail. Look out cold shower!
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Hollie Jackson, who has been great through the series. I love her accents and the delicate touch she has with them. She has a swift pace that really fits the smexy scenes and energy of the read. I really enjoyed her work and will have to look for other reads!
Overall, this book has been enjoyable and a great concept. I hope there is more to come, we still have a few supporting charterers that are single. I would just like to see the stories a bit longer, take more time building the world and relationships.
Disclosure- I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts, opinions and ratings are my own.
Playing with the devil: The Wizard & The Wonton by Charity Parkerson
I love this series because the characters rock! If you had to go up against a sexy devil, would you? Dheath is a very sexy devil who can send shiver down your spine, sexually and fearfully. He shows up on Randall's apothecary shop doorstep, he wants his help taking a power from Rowena ( she's a fate) who Randall has feelings for. Randall says he hasn't seen her in awhile, Dhearth says she right across the road in that coffee shop. She's there with Lena and Harper, Randall's ferocious with Dheath for even saying her name. He hasn't seen Rowena in a long time, he goes to the coffee shop and Rowena was happy to see him until she notices Dheath. Randall grabs her and walks away with her in tow. Harper can't keep her eyes off Dheath. When they return Harper and Dheath are gone. They knew they would need more help, they went to see my favorite fairy Tam. Can Tam, Rowena and Randall get Harper back? You'll want to find out, believe me.
“The Wizard and The Wanton” is one of my favorite books in Charity Parkerson’s “Sexy Witches” series. I loved everything about it: from the mysterious and magic-filled setting of the New Orleans where angels walk the streets to the appearance of the devil to philosophical discussions of the relative merits of living souls vs. dead souls to tarot cards readings to the idea of stealing from the devil himself.
This book will keep you reading, guessing, and turning the pages.
Charity Parkerson has an amazing imagination that allows her to create worlds and characters that are as fantastic as they are believable and realistic. This book is filled with danger, adventure, forbidden and passionate love, and, of course, some sexy scenes that are “hotter than Hell,” to quote the book.
And here’s one of my favorite lines:
“If Heaven was a summer sky and a TV left on mute, then the Underworld was a starry night and an electric guitar with amps.”
A mesmerizing and inspiring tale. A wonderful book! Five stars.
